I have the varipole system .. However, I like this option too but for the shorter backdrops .. the longer ones have weight and I would be too scared that it’ll fall on a client 😭. Overall, great video! Enjoyed watching
@@HDBnB1Basically i wanna try your set up But instead i wanted to use “regular“ backdrop stands because they already come in pairs but i wasn’t sure if the set up would still work with a different stand type or if the stand type actually mattered
I would be curious to know the dimensions of your shooting area. I have a lift apartment with a large-ish spare room, but I'm not sure if it's quite big enough to shoot full body portraits in.
@@HDBnB1 what is the depth? That's my biggest concern. A lot of places on the internet make it sound like you need at least 20 feet between the backdrop and camera to take good full body portraits. That's where I'd be running into limitations.
BIG Tip.... Flip your chain. You'll notice the smooth end is on the outside and the side where the chain is bent to form the connection is on the inside. When you flip it the weight is on the smooth part and works perfectly. I have 4 of these chains and had flip them all. Yes this also means flipping inside the weight. But it's not to hard to manipulate it to get it done. I have absolutely zero clue why these are all manufacturered the wrong way. Another thing you didn't mention is with the metal chains you must unscrew and talk off the end cap on the drive piece to get it installed. With the plastic chains you just snap the chain apart. If you want to see what I did with my chain to make it work perfectly I'll glady send you pics or a video. It's 100% a necessity. Also when the weight gets caught on the chain the paper is not counterweighted properly and can continue to roll on its own. The weight takes care of this when done right. Also I have a huge tip on adding a 4 roll to this system. I can share that in a video of you want.
This is dope! Thank you for not gatekeeping. More clients to come!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Dope insightful video bro
Glad you enjoyed!!

Thank you so much for watching! Hope it helped out (:
Great tutorial, I'd be interested on how you use flash with your backdrops
Maybe you can stop by for a tour? 👀
Great work. Very detailed.
Glad it brought you value!
This was dope! Definitely helpful
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was so helpful, thanks ❤
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. I'm going to build the same background system. One question. Did you use a 86 or a 107 inch backdrop?
107
Would i be able to use the regular stands that are used in a backdrop kit instead of the C-Stands ? Would it give me the same results?
What backdrop kit? Heavier and sturdier the stands the better!

The ceilings are about 14 feet high

Let’s talk lighting …
Why’d you opt for continuas lighting & how’s it been working for you so far ? Any Pros and Cons ?
I have both continuous and strobes!

Thanks for all the information! It’s very informative
@@HDBnB1 thanks. Let me know when you flip the chains. You'll see it's 100% necessary and odd that it wasn't done that way to begin with.
@fostervf16 probably not anytime soon since we’ll be taking it down soon but for the next one will do!
THIS DEOSNT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awe sorry to hear that :/
